路路Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...IS this ghost bezel a 'real' one - I know this is open to a very wide interpretation - and therefore of benefit? This factor had attracted me to the watch..
I totally was on the wrong track re. 'stepped' dial in this 1971 realize its the main dial and not sub dials which was my initial understanding.
Is it overvalued if a decent price (max 1000 usd) correct dial can be found given that the 1971 version of this watch is less in numbers than say 1969? Plus what would be a 'normal' price for an intact 1971 with correct dial? Likely above 3K but how much.. again dependent on interpretation.. this case has good edges.. 馃槈
Missing the correct dial significantly affects price.
As Ghost dials are created from friction wear on the bezel you expect the inside of the bezel to be darker. This bezel seems consistent to have been naturally occurring. Blue bezels are the ones I think have been faked.
A correct dial I assume would be in the $650-800? plus range but odds are it's lume ageing would not match the hands.
-69 and -71 had the same dial.
P.S.
I also though the step was a subdial thing for a few hours and racked my brain trying to figure it out until I noticed the minute track step.
